Do you want to elevate your communications?
As a writer, editor & translator, I can partner with you or your team to co-craft messages that inform and inspire. I look to my diverse experiences in many industries and cultures to see the drivers behind multiple perspectives, and find ways to connect them. Or simply smooth out the wrinkles to bring a message to life. You can see some samples of my work below. A lot of my assignments are written behind-the-scenes, and some are proprietary. If you’d like to see more, just get in touch.
What people say about working with me:
“We very much liked your take on the text–you have really bought out the story we wanted to tell. Thank you for bringing our story to life! ” Wonu Owoade, More Than Brides Alliance
“Susan is a dedicated and independent person, with a strong sense of responsibility and a great sense of humour. Moreover, I’ve always been very impressed by the ease with which she was able to appropriate complex matter and render it in her own words. Her basic knowledge of many areas is extensive, and she learns quickly.” Domeniek Ruyters, Executive Editor, Metropolis M
“Susan is efficient and professional, and communicates clearly. She provided more than just editing for our web site but also advice on presenting our services. We look forward to working with her again.” Lucy L, Owner, Sunshine Au Pair
